Real Housewives of New Jersey alum Sigalit ‘Siggy’ Flicker was appointed to the Holocaust Memorial Council by President Donald Trump Tuesday.
The president took to his Truth Social platform on Tuesday to reveal the appointment of the Bravo alum along with four others, stating: ‘They are all staunch supporters of Israel and will ensure we NEVER FORGET. Congratulations to all!’
Flicker, 57, expressed her gratitude on Twitter, writing: ‘President Trump… Thank you for the privilege & honor to represent and NEVER FORGET.’ She punctuated her message with emojis of the American and Israeli flags in her interaction with the president.
The five new members replace Biden-era appointees on the council whose employment Trump terminated April 29.
In an exclusive conversation with Dailymail.com, Flicker shared that following Trump’s victory over Democratic contender Kamala Harris last year, she believed Bravo producers had penalized her for her political views.
‘My first season was great, they presented me as I am – emotional but loving and very into relationships,’ Flicker said November 8. ‘Then, in my second season, they had learned that I voted for Trump in the 2016 election and the producers hated it.’

Flicker’s appointment came just more than a year after her son Tyler Campanella was arrested in connection with on five misdemeanor charges in connection with the January 6, 2021 attacks on the U.S. Capitol.
Campanella, according to court documented reviewed by NBC News , was taken into custody in New York City more than three years after the group effort to overturn 2020 presidential election results in which President Joe Biden defeated incumbent Donald Trump.
Campanella had been seen in social media photos Flicker, 56, had posted to her social media pages, according to an FBI affidavit.
She captioned one image, ‘I love patriots so much. Stay safe Tyler. We love you.’
Flicker also posted the hashtag #StoptheSteal and emojis on her posts, the FBI said.
Campanella’s phone was inside of the U.S. Capitol on the day of the attacks, according to the FBI, which cited phone records it had subpoenaed in their probe.
The account linked to the phone was with an auto dealership called Bayside Chrysler, which employed Campanella in its sales department, according to the FBI.
According to NBC News, footage culled from inside of the Capitol during the melee ‘appears to show the man federal authorities identified as Campanella entering then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s suite, and even walking into the room where Pelosi’s laptop was stolen.’
